This skill that Hu Siming discussed with his teammates is the abyss lord's declining aura!

This skill, attack mode, etc. is a very clunky hero, with the most strategically significant ultimate in the whole Dota, group teleportation. If you use it well, it's enough to change the tide of battle in an instant. It's just that, due to such and such factors, this inheritance is not common in the academy, so that Hu Siming and the others discussed it until the end before they remembered this candidate.

Decay aura!

This is also a standard aura with a radius of up to 900, which reduces the attack damage of all enemies in the area by 42% when added to the maximum level.

Note that the attack power mentioned here is different from the so-called basic attack power such as the aura of the sacrifice and the ultimate of the wandering swordsman. The latter is a nude attack that only counts stats with equipment bonuses removed. The attack power of the decay aura reduction is the total attack power. For some powerful late-stage DPS heroes, it is normal to have an attack power of seven or eight hundred after owning a holy sword. But once you enter the decay aura, you will be directly weakened by 42%, which is about three hundred attacks, which is exactly the bonus of a holy sword!

Just one skill can nullify a holy sword in the enemy's core, and it will be equally effective against other teammates, what a terrifying effect.

Xu Guang, who has red armor, is already a very fleshy existence. If it is paired with a decay aura to greatly suppress the enemy's attack power, it can really achieve the feat of 1v5 in a short period of time.

Of course, if it were just that, Hu Siming would not have admired this skill so much. In addition to reducing attacks, the decay aura has a powerful effect. Any enemy that dies within the aura's radius will increase the output of Xu Guang for a certain amount of time. +5 attack damage for normal units, 30 points for Golden Lords or Hero units, and for up to 45 seconds!

If you put it in the Dire Dark Tide, Xu Guang can enjoy a steady stream of bonuses.

Such a skill that combines suppressing the enemy and amplifying oneself is naturally very valuable. Also, considering that such an aura skill must be there all the time to be useful, and it doesn't switch at will like an active skill from rubbing, it makes sense to give it a free skill slot.

"Halo, it's not bad......"

Xu Guang's third skill at the elite level is to learn passive strength. With that kind of experience, he naturally has no resistance to a skill that does not need to be distracted. Moreover, after Xu Guang's talent is fused, he can already retain 4 sets of skills at the same time at this stage, so he doesn't have to worry about having no skills to put it, and magic consumption is also a big problem. If you make an aura with a free skill, you can effectively reduce the pressure of magic consumption.

After finalizing the last uncertain factor, Xu Guang, Yan Shaoou, and Shi Niu took action one after another.

It is not easy to learn free skills, and it is not what many freshmen think, as long as you choose it, you can learn it directly. In order to prevent the students from making hasty decisions and recovering or "squeezing" a little more resources from the students by the way, the college has set up a task chain comparable to the pre-graduate school entrance examination in terms of free skills. Maybe it's not that difficult, but it definitely takes a lot of time. Even if the students make a decision and initiate an application, it will take at least two or three months after the whole task is completed and the academy is certified and approved.

Even, it is already fast to be able to do it in two months.

In the process of hunting and playing equipment, many students do free skills tasks by the way, which can not be completed in a semester, and there are many such examples.

As for Yu Gaowu, he of the elite LV9 is still working hard for the last bit of experience energy. Although the pre-graduate school entrance examination tasks are almost done, it will take a few weeks to clear them all. According to the fastest speed estimate, maybe before the second unified examination of this semester, you can successfully apply for the postgraduate entrance examination.

It was a little faster than Hu Siming had expected.

Since several teammates worked so hard after the Dire Darktide and did not slacken at all, Hu Siming himself certainly couldn't relax his requirements. After successfully possessing the ultimate, his need for level was not so urgent, and he adjusted the experience distribution scheme back to 55 kai. After that, he didn't rush to go out hunting immediately, or take time to make a certain piece of equipment, but "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools"!

That is, to change the exclusive cosmetic weapons of the rarity level!

After this Dire Darktide, Hu Siming got the main ingredients for synthesizing exclusive cosmetic weapons, and the design drawings were also received from the academy. As for synthesis, although it is not impossible to forge it from scratch, Hu Siming's Flame Proverb Sword is also a very good weapon, so it is a pity to retreat like this. After inquiring about the academy at the Bizer Blacksmith Shop, Hu Siming paid 1,000 generic points, chose to use the Sword of Flame Proverbs as the foundation, added the new materials he obtained, and created a new exclusive cosmetic weapon according to the blueprints.

The advantage of this is that not only can it partially inherit the attributes of the original weapon, but it can also save time and effort. Of course, the downside is that the stats of the new weapon may differ from the standard stats made in the blueprints.

Hu Siming has already seen the attributes of the design drawing, and none of them belong to the very best and must have, so it naturally doesn't matter. For him, the most important thing is to make this exclusive cosmetic weapon as soon as possible, and then assemble the entire rare set.

The whole forging and smelting took half a minute.

Because the original weapon needs to be processed or even disassembled, it takes a little longer than building a new weapon from scratch. But Hu Siming has experienced a similar scene many times, and he is very patient waiting by the side. As the golden light slowly dissipated, a large sword with a similar shape to the original sword, but with a color of pure gold, gradually took shape.

【Plateau Mentor Golden Sword】

Rare cosmetic items, weapons, and sets (4/5).

It can be dropped and can be traded in a packaged state.

An upgraded weapon from the Sword of Flame Proverbs, it inherits the prestige of the Plateau Mentor. Anyone who wields him will gain extraordinary courage from the sword.

Gain +10 Attack.

The blade comes with a fire splash effect, which deals 15% splash damage to enemies within a 250 radius, and the splash effect can be stacked with other equipment/skills.

On the golden sword, there is the memory of the Ash Spirit Mentor. When swinging it to attack an enemy, there is a chance to hit the effect of the Sun Cord, which lasts for 2 seconds and deals 50 damage per second.

Once you have all the five-piece sets, you can unlock the attributes of the Plateau Mentor set.

Note: Something seems to be watching you on the sword!

The new weapon after synthesis is a little heavier in the hand than before, but it is more satisfying to wield. As for the attributes, they are still the standard three of the rarity level. Compared to the original Sword of Flame Proverbs, the attack power is only 2 points more, from +8 to +10, which can only be said to be a better than nothing. Then the second one, the additional splashing effect is much more powerful.

The original Sword of Flame Proverbs only had a splash of only 10%, and its range was slightly smaller. But now, the Golden Sword, the Plateau Mentor, who has inherited this attribute, has increased its increased splash to 15%.

When stacked with the Battle Axe, Hu Siming's total splash damage is up to 50%!

In addition, the most important and the biggest enhancement is the third weapon effect. The original Sword of Proverbs had a Proverbs effect that dealt 20 Shadow Damage to enemies for 4 seconds. It's pretty good, but it doesn't have a decisive effect, it just increases damage. But the special effect of the Golden Sword of the Plateau Mentor is much more powerful than the effect of Proverbs, and once triggered, it is equivalent to a single Flame Sun Rope!

With such a new weapon, Hu Siming's combat power has been improved again. With the ultimate move and the inheritance becoming complete, he really has a kind of pride that "there is nowhere in the world".

At this time, the academy happened to issue a new mission, investigating the anomalies in the forbidden land of the poisonous swamp outside the academy. As one of the most dangerous of the three forbidden places in the illusory space where the academy is located, this trip will inevitably go deep into the poisonous swamp, which is a very tricky task. Coupled with the uncertainty of the reward, if it had been a week ago, when the Dire Dark Tide had not yet occurred, Hu Siming would probably not have accepted it. But now, he was full of ambition, and when he saw the task prompt appear, he directly clicked OK.

What is a poisonous swamp? The deepest monster is LV40!

With Hu Siming's current strength, even if he can't beat the top demonic beasts inside, he can at least calmly withdraw and be invincible from the beginning.

The academy recruited a total of five heroes to complete this task, except for Hu Siming, the other four were not surprising, all of them were inheritances related to toxins. Two of the heroes are the Wurm Legacy of the Underworld, a Venom Warlock, and a Shadow Priest, all of which have more or less poison resistance bonuses, and are poisonous swamps in the forbidden land of death to others, no different from ordinary hunting grounds.

Among such four heroes, Hu Siming, the spirit of ashes, stands out a bit and is particularly conspicuous.

Because the mission requirements are only to detect anomalies, and although the forbidden place is dangerous, the students are relatively more familiar, so several heroes do not have the idea of joining forces. After receiving the task, they made simple preparations and hit the road. Hu Siming, who had just updated his weapons and mastered the ultimate, had no intention of partnering with them, and he teleported out of the academy with ease, and under the envy and awe of his younger brothers and sisters along the way, he went straight to the poisonous swamp.

It was only during the boredom of the road that he carefully studied the task.

Judging from the description given by the Academy, it seems that the abnormality of the poisonous swamp has only begun to appear in the past few days. There wasn't anything particularly obvious about it, but all the students who were familiar with the poisonous swamp could feel that something was wrong. These days have been more chaotic than usual, and the number of monsters involved in the New World has increased dramatically, and it has become more irregular.

After discovering this anomaly, the student council first conducted a self-examination and found that it was not the illusory space that the academy mastered was not problematic itself. In this way, the student council did not want to jump to conclusions, so it decided to send a few people to the poisonous swamp to see if there were any valuable discoveries.

What Hu Siming received was such a task with no specific clues and a very vague look.
